Assassin's Creed 3 Wiki Guide

Abstergo Industries

Abstergo Industries is a large international corporation in the world of Assassin's Creed and later revealed to be the modern day public front of the Templars. They originally capture Desmond in Assassin's Creed and hook him up to the Animus in order to locate the Pieces of Eden and obtain their power. After the first game they don't play a major part in the story only references to them. One in particular is when Desmond is recollecting pieces of his mind and he explains his surprise that Abstergo is the enemy referring to even having a few of their products and how they mass produce things everywhere. In Assassin's Creed 3 Abstergo shows up again trying to prevent the Assassin's from collecting the batteries and capturing William Miles in order to use him as bait to get their hands on the Apple.
